"I could always say you're ill, sir?"

Artemis glared at his bodyguard's reflection, daring him to smile.

He didn't, but it was a close thing.

"I am ill, Butler!" Artemis snapped, redirecting his glare at his own reflection and unnecessarily smoothing his skin-tight leather pants. "Nothing else can explain it. What possessed me?"

Before Butler was forced to reply, Juliet burst into the room in a flurry of sparkling clothes and eye-shadow.

"Arty! You look great!" she gushed.

Artemis smiled uneasily.

"You too," was all he said, though. "Shall we?"

Butler watched them go with a smile of his own.


A/N: Sorry, I just had to do it. Who can make Arty wear tight leather pants in only 100 words? I can, oh yeah!
